By roundabout I mean neither forums, emails, nor comment sections, but other indirect and atypical ways of community forming online.

Man, the world sure has changed if people think forums are an atypical online community.

Gosh dang it! I really need to stay off the Internet until I've finished my first cup of coffee. I thought they said "I mean either" as in "possibly including these following things".

Fwiw those I mention in the OP are a few I personally consider typical but thought others might consider atypical these days, so wanted to head them off.

Edit:
was replying from notifications, so missed where someone else pointed this out, sorry for the extra notification! 😅

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.
